In any other series this would have been very brief, but Skulduggery is working for the villains for quite a while. A very shocking event happens in the book, when Skulduggery is turned evil by one of the protagonists. He’s still just as snarky and deadpan as ever, but his experiences over the past books have made him more moral and grounded. Skulduggery is one of my all time favourite characters, and I am happy to report that Resurrection is a great showing for him. He’s a great character and serves as a strong new protagonist, although the focus is of course on the two main characters. He’s constantly subverting cliches.) Omen is just a normal kid who happens to be the exact person Skulduggery and Valkyrie need for their investigations. The Chosen One is his brother (I love this aspect of Derek Landy’s writing. The most important new character is Omen Darkly, a schoolboy who is not the Chosen One. There are many new elements and characters in this book. This forces Skuldggery and Valkyrie back together. Until a group of fanatics led by a mysterious masked figure called Lethe appear and form an “anti-Sanctuary” to rise up against the mortals, who they see as inferior. Valkyrie has gone into hiding to make up for her actions as Darquesse and everything seems to be fine. Roarhaven has become a giant, fully functioning society and Skulduggery is still solving mysteries and crime. The book takes place five years after The Dying of the Light. A warning that there will be spoilers, but seeing how you’ve probably all read it by now it doesn’t matter. Well, now I have the time, let’s dive into the latest entry of the awesome Skulduggery Pleasant series. Yeah, I was gonna review this the week it came out but… stuff happened.
